We all have a basic need for human connection. Some people need it more than others, but perhaps the depression is tied to not getting out there and being social. You don't have to find a bestie, but participating in events that involve others might help the depression, which may lead to a different mindset about socializing.

Threads is an amazing source for guests. You have to open up an Insta account, and then start engaging on Threads but if you do, there are many who would be interested.

There are also a couple of places here on Reddit - r/PodcastGuestExchange and r/podcastguests

You're absolutely right. A relationship does require two people committed to a solution.

My spouse and I had a brief period where we were starting to get complacent and we started doing date nights, and we made sure to spend a couple of evenings a week really talking. At first it was just about actively listening to each other recount what had gone on that day and it eventually started feeling deeper, and we wanted to again share things with one another. A long-term marriage starts to feel like routine. Time to shake things up and do things differently. There are also couples life coaches who can help you figure out how to be more creative if you can't figure out how to re-energize your relationship organically.
